Ok - that quilt link just reinforced my goal of getting my act in order and making stuff. I have oodles of fun projects sitting in a box that need attention (all those t-shirts conversion ideas I see on pinterest mostly).
I'm still pining for these: http://tinyurl.com/9gys95larent these just the coolest. Man i wish I could draw.

Those are absolutely the coolest things. I would wear those with everything. I would INVENT outfits for those.

No big deal. Just 3 centuries.

Seriously - that's a big jump. And I am not liking this Amy being more like the doctor than the doctor is.
Or is he's been hiding out since everyone in the universe is supposed to believe he's died at 900 yrs?

I'm not sure when his age was last stated, to be honest; I want to say during the Rose years.

so this jump in years could have happened at any time, right?

or should I watch all of the seasons from 2005 onwards, to see when it's mentioned.

This is how I remember it - somewhere between the two impossible astronaut episode parts he's 700 when he gets shot by River - but the doctor leaving all the notes is 200 yrs older - one of the ways Amy figures out there are 2 of them (as the doctor states both ages).
So to jump to 1200 seems quite a stretch - and we still are not sure where Amy/Rory are in that - and so supposedly he has not regenerated all this time either.

I don't remember him ever saying he was less than 900, since he is 900 when he picks up Rose, and ages incrementally from that point with the seasons every time it's mentioned in story. Until the Impossible Astronaut. Then he tells Amy he's what 1190 or something (I'd have to look) and she says, but it's been about 200 years since you've seen us, and his reply is that he's been busy. However, several times during the season it's remarked that in order to be a time traveler you have to lie, and that the Doctor lies a lot, especially to keep timelines straight.

So what did everyone think of A Town Called Mercy? Strangely enough, I liked it slightly better than the dinosaurs. Sure it was a bit flawed here and there, but the music was really spot on, which I think helped. Maybe I'm still getting used to this whole 'no arc' (at least one we're admitting to openly) thing.

I'm with you once again on this one. Things are on an upward slope since 7.1 and I think I'm beginning to get a (false) sense of what's going on this season....the Doctor may well be a madman with a box.

As for 7.3: The music seemed like an homage to Firefly.

Favorite line without becoming a spoiler, "...he wants you to respect his life choices!"

Short and sweet wrap up as I await to lose power due to the incoming storm: I grade this one an A.

I just remembered one more observation I had about Town Called Mercy (AKA 7.3).

Was I the only one that had a flashback to a scene from a Martin Short/Steve Martin/Chevy Chase film?
